Chapter 1155 Dual Lotus Abode

Chapter 1155 Dual Lotus Abode

Davis let out a dry laugh. Looks like Drake learned to pose after traversing the world for a while. He reached out his hand and patted Drake’s shoulders.

"I know... It must be hard, posing in front of your women all the time to make them fall for you again and again."

Drake’s expression changed before he pushed Davis’s arm off, "I worked hard, so what’s wrong if I pose a little?"

Davis didn’t reply and just laughed.

Drake trembled like a cornered deer before he uttered, "Fine! I am posing in front of my women a lot!"

"Hahaha!" Davis laughed again, even holding his stomach, almost collapsing on the paved ground.

"You! Stop it! Or else I’m throwing you out!" Drake pointed at him, his cheeks becoming covered in red.

Davis slowly stopped his laughter, wiping away his tears of laughter along with it, "Don’t worry, I can relate..."

"Relate...?" Drake narrowed his eyes before his eyes widened, "You’re no longer a virgin!?"

He scanned Davis with his gaze before his lips moved, "Damn~~~."

"Who was that unlucky woman?"

"Fuck off!" Davis retorted as he threw a punch.

Drake’s eyes lit up as he raised his hand against the punch, but the moment their fists met, he was sent flying away like a kite that got its strings cut and crashed right into the arch.

"Eh...?" Davis’s smile froze as he looked at Drake uncontrollably crash.

’Normally, wouldn’t one dodge!?’

"What the fuck!?" Drake flew up as he appeared unharmed. However, he seemed to be embarrassed and angered, "You cheater! Do you fucking have a system!? Why are you so powerful even after I worked so hard!?"

Davis could only dryly laugh at that question while he shook his hands. He didn’t have a system, but he sure was a cheater with a heaven-defying treasure.

Drake then harrumphed. He looked around and saw that, fortunately, no one seemed to be around at this time. The next moment, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Fuck, I was so looking forward to beating you in terms of cultivation next time, but it seems like I failed magnificently..."

"Competing with you is worse than competing with those geniuses at the Dual Lotus Manor... I’m quitting! I’m officially quitting!" Drake roared at the heavens as he looked aggrieved.

"Kara already knows, so I was no longer able to maintain secrets with the others..." Drake put a pitiful expression, "I apologize."

Davis sighed, "Whatever, just be beware of betrayal in general..."

"I understand. However, I will vouch for them! Not one of them has betrayed me ever since they and I entered this Dual Lotus Abode even though they had plenty of opportunities to look for other strong and talented men."

Davis smiled in interest, "I’m rather curious about the intricacies of the Dual Lotus Abode. Care to explain?"

"Well, where should I begin... Those black-robed women you’ve seen at the entrance are a prime example. They have minimal rights and are no different than slaves from a particular point of view. Any outer disciple can request to have them join in their dual cultivation session, but they still have their rights to decline. But in front of inner disciples and core disciples, they have no right to decline and could only bend... bend their heads. This applies to those white-robed men you saw in the pathway as well."

"If it is like this," Davis expressed his doubt with a frown, "Doesn’t that mean outer disciples have to bend to the will of core disciples as they wouldn’t be able to decline?"

"And that’s where the problem is..." Drake sighed, a strange glint appearing in his eyes, "My five other wives, you know, are not that powerful. They barely managed to become outer disciples, but they were suddenly taken fancy along with a plethora of outer disciples by a lecherous core disciple."

At this moment, Drake gritted his teeth in hatred as he uttered in an anguished voice, "I could only helplessly watch as they were taken away..."

Davis’s expression froze. However, he recalled Drake’s words.

Drake smiled a bit, "Yes, the Dual Lotus Manor and its branches are deemed as righteous powers. Workers are abused, and it’s often common in almost all righteous powers as it can’t be deemed that they’re part of the manor or a particular power. Workers are still not counted as members. It is more like they are civilians who have devoted their lives to serve the particular power while that particular power bestows them with resources for their labor."

"However, it can’t be said to be the same for disciples. They are nurtured by the power they belong to, and possess the right to consent, at least on the surface."

"Going on with this, the outer disciples summoned by that core disciple had two options given to them. One, accept the core disciple’s favor. Two, you have one day to think about the core disciple’s favor amidst the gaze of two Disciplinary Elders before you can decline."

"The latter is conducted in a manner that does not spark public outrage but speaks about one’s loyalty."

"The results are final and made public, and it was clear that my five wives refused to bend their knee to that core disciple along with a select few other outer disciples while most of them, especially virgins who had waited all this time, ended up joining his harem, trying to rise up ranks."

Davis released a breath, "Don’t make my breath become stifled. You had me there..."

But Drake remained solemn, "However, you don’t know how terrible it was for the men who had their women robbed by that core disciple at that time. Some lost their will, some tried to take revenge but ended up being imprisoned or killed in the name of self-defense, and some became crazy, devolving into literal sex beasts as they took it out on the workers."

"It was as if this was their tempering session, until then, only useful to feed the upper tier. Truly, the survival of the fittest!"

Davis narrowed his eyes. The outer disciples sure had it tough, but he mused that it was better than those wicked path dual cultivation powers. Thinking like this, the story of ’the green hat’ from his past life came to his mind, making him think that the female outer disciples here were sure been allotted an ironic dress.

Drake finally turned to look at Davis, "That’s why I said I could vouch for their loyalty. Nevertheless, the debt has been incurred. Mark my words, I will fucking kill that piece of core-shit even if it meant the death of me!"

"How about I do you a favor and kill that core piece of shit? Just tell me his name and show me his picture." Davis spoke with a somber tone.

He was considerably angered!

The way his women were his reverse scale, he felt that it should be the same for Drake. How could he be silent or be indifferent about this when he had decided to befriend Drake from long ago?
